Corliss Electric | Trusted Electricians in Brattleboro, VT

Absolutely. Our electrical inspections include checking your home's grounding system, surge protection devices, and the overall integrity of your wiring. In Brattleboro, where power fluctuations can occur, we identify weak points that could allow a surge to reach your appliances. We can recommend and install whole-house surge protectors to provide a critical first line of defense, safeguarding your refrigerator, computer, and other electronics.

During a Corliss Electric inspection in your Brattleboro home, we pay special attention to areas where rodents are known to nest and travel, such as attics, basements, crawl spaces, and behind walls. We look for tell-tale signs like gnaw marks on wire insulation, nesting materials, and droppings near electrical boxes. Finding and repairing this damage is crucial, as exposed wires are a serious fire hazard and can cause circuit failures.

For Brattleboro's many historic and older homes, our inspection is comprehensive. We evaluate the service panel for capacity and safety, test all outlets for proper grounding and polarity, inspect wiring in accessible areas for deterioration or rodent damage, and check lighting fixtures. We specifically assess whether your system can handle modern electrical loads safely, which is a common issue in older properties that can lead to overheating and surges.
